A Pest of Rats in India.

The rat threatens to be as destructive
in the Neilgherries as the rabbit is in
Australia. The hills are oyerrun by them.
The fields of the ryots are honeycombed
by them. On estates hundreds of tea trees
have been uprooted by them, and bushels
of coffee may be gathered that has been
picked by them. Growers of potatoes
and vegetables have had their crops de-
stroyed by them, and residents and visit
ors have experienced what a pest they
have become in the houses 1t is sug-
gested that the breeding of such birds as
the eagle, the hawk and the owl, which
prey upon rats, should be encouraged. At
present the Neiigherries Game Association
offers rewards for the destruction Of such
birds.-PiU Nall Gazstte.

"Only three Presidents before Mr..

''have had the pleasure of celebrating
their semi-centennials while in that

PEACE.

Winds and wild waves in headlong huge com
motion
Scud, dark with tempest, DER the Atlantic's
breast;
While underneath, few fathoms deep in
ocean,
Lie peace, and rest.
Storms in mid-air, the rack before them
sweeping,
Hurry, and hiss, like furies hate possessed;
While over all white cloudlets pure are sleep
ing
In peace, in rest
Heart, o wild heart! why in the storm-world
ranging
Flit'st thou thus midway, PASSIONS slave
and jest,
When all so near above, below, unchanging
Are heaven, and restl

An army officer says that small as our
army is, there is an excessive percentage
of desertion from it, although the men
are far better fed and paid than any other
soldiers in the world. The reason is that
a great number of men enlist for the pur-
pose of being sent out West, and then de-
serting. This class is very large and ex-
ceedingly hard to deal with, as it is next
TO impossible to apprehend them, owing
to the general feeling throughout the
mountain regions that they have escaped
from kind of slavery. Another class
liable to desert consists of young men
of good family who have become dis
sipated, and enlisted in moment of de-
spair. But the strangest class is that of
the chronic deserters.

The Michigan Legislature has made a
law giving a reward of one cent for each
sparrow killed in that State, the expense
to be made county charge and payable
by village OF town clerks. "This, says
the CuItirator, twill probably thin out
what has become in many localities a
great nuisance. The sparrows in North
ern States live chiefly in cities and vii
lages, where they can find shelter, and
are especially destructive to grain and
fruit near the suburbs. In Spring they
eat fruit buds when nothing else offers,
and thus do greater damage than at any
other season. With a reward of one cent
for each one killed a profitable business
might be done in killing them, and the
experiment in Michigan might well be
repeated elsewhere. The sparrow breeds
rapidly, and one Of its worst offences con
sists in driving away the native bird'
much more valuable than itself.

y Bicycles are to be utilized in the French
army. The War Minister, after witness
ing trials of bicycles, tricycles and veloci-
pcdes, has chosen the first of these ma
chimes as the most usCful model. A GER
tain number of infantry soldiers in each
corps will be trained to ride the bicycle,
in order TO carry dispatches when ON
active service, and thus leave the cavalry
free for other duty.

After banishing beer the Prohibitionists
of Iowaare now making crusade against
cider. In Des Moines recently the Prohi-
bition spies seized a keg of cider belong
ing to one Jacob Hueglin and accused
him of violating the law in having SO
deadly an agent of intoxication in his
possession. As it was not strong cider,
he believed he was not violating the law
in using it. But the justice of the peace
declared the fluid to be intoxicating and
ordered it to be destroyed. The head of
the keg was accordingly knocked in and
and the contents poured in the street as a
warning to all other offenders.

One Of the secrets of success on the
part Of French cooks is that they measure
ingredients with the accuracy of pre-
scription clerk. Every one knows that it
Fis impossible to make domestics measure

The French nurses are also very careful
in administering medicines, to give prop
a sized dose and at time directed.

Epaulettes, abolished by law in the
French army in 1884, were restored re-
Gently to the shoulders of French SOL

great dissatisfaction in the army, and
their restoration, which is credited to
General Boulanger, has increased his
popularity in the army.

HANDSOME HAUL
Nj ade on the L. S. l.. by Citi-
zen of MI emphis.

One of the luckiest citizens of Mem
phis, perhaps, or one who has had as
much good fortune during the past 80
days as any other, is William Palen,
who for some years has been employed
as Waterman at the Mississippi and
Tennessee depot, and who in the last
monthly drawing of the Louisiana
State Lottery Company held one-tenth
of the ticket which called for the CAPT.
tai prize of $4,000. An Avalanche re-
porter met Palen by chance yesterday
and asked him how he stood prosperity.
Il take it pretty calmly" he replied,
'and don't know that my little fortune
will affect my ordinary way OF living
much. l have been working for many
years at moderate salary, and have
always managed to make good living.
This little stroke of luck, however, will
help me along great deal, of course.

T'HE PULASKI CII'IZEN
The Cosmopolitan for February.

ga Night inChinatown," a beautiful
ly illustrated article by Mr.. George FL.
Fitch, editor Of the San Francisco
Chronicle, is one of the most striking
and interesting articles in the February
number of The Cosmopolitan, publish
ed by Schlicht & Field Co., Rochester,
N. Y. 1t sets forth in vivid and pic
turesque language the appalling fea-
lures of this Chinese settlement in the
heart of an American city. DIR. Edward
w. Bemis's article entitled "The Iron
Octopus" is an able and timely discus
sion of the railroad problem, "What
Monkeys Know" by Henry Howard, is
a vivacious contribution to that enter
tanning literature relative to the men,
tai traits and domestic habits of an in
teresting species of animals. Mr.. Ar
mold Burgess johnson, the chief of the
lighthouse bureau, contributes an I'M
conventional and humorous tale of the
light house; it is entitled, "Mr. Clegg's
Very Mysterious Disappearance" Mrs.
Katharine B. Foot's story entitled,
"The Bundle that -" is perplexing
and fascinating as the famous Is puzzle.
"The little Orphan" is a powerful and
pathetic sketch by Theodore Dostoivs-
ky, the great Russian novelist. "The
Story of Bertha" by Guy de Maupas-
SAINT, is very peculiar tale by one of
the foremost French writers. Mr.. Will
liam H. Briggs brings to close his Sc
ries of humorous articles entitled, "a
Humble Castle in SPAIN" The present
installment of "Signor To-" by the fore
most Italian novelist, Salvatore Farina,
is particularly delightful, showing how
Mr.. 10 resolved to get married again.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Susan Hartley
and Frank Dempster Sherman con-
tribute charming poems to this num-
Der OF The Cosmopolitan which, with
its attractive full page illustrations, its
valuable household department, and the
department for young folks is one OF
the best yet issued.

Dishonest Legislation.

The republicans in congress are
resorting to miserably dishon-
est means to boost their Ian
gushing cause. Their solicitude
for the federal soldiers is an unmit-
igated pretense. They prostitute
their office and they outrage a sa-
cred and serious cause by Selling
upon pension legislation as means
to help them back to power. The
republicans would not dare to pass
such outrageous pension bills as
have been recently sent to the pres
ident if they did not know they
would be vetoed. 1t would bank
rupt the country and they know it.
The people they pretend to desire
to pension do not deserve it and do
not need it, and they know it. They
pass them purposely to have them
vetoed. They perjure themselves
and are guilty of absolute outright
dishonesty in thus passing bills
that they know would be SO outra-
SSpHSAN Nuho Iii w euS AOuuti -.
They do it solely to force the presi
dent to veto them so that the re-
publican party may pose as the
friend of the soldiers and the demo
cratic party as their enemy.
1t is lie upon its face. They
ruled in both houses and in the
white house quarter century, and
why didn't they pass these pension
bills then? They know the coun-
try cannot stand it and they never
thought of doing it when they had
the power. Now they pretend to be
in favor of it, and attempt to force
the democrats to appear to be I'M
friendly to the ex-soIdiers.
They outrage a sacred cause,

ASTONISHING SUCCESS.

1t is the duty of every person who
has used Bochee's German Syrup to let
its wonderful qualities be known to
their friends in curing Consumption,
severe Coughs, Colds, Group, Asthma,
Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and
lung diseases. No person can use it
without immediate relief. Three doses
will relieve any case, and we consider it
the duty ofall druggists to recommend
it to the poor, dying consumptive, at
least to try one bottle, as $4,000 dozen
bottles were sold last year, and ne one
case where it failed was reported. Such
medicine as the German Syrup cnn-
not be too widely known. Ask your
druggist about it. Sample bottles to try
